Escher in Rome 1

Another Roman Escher, this time of S. Michele dei Frisoni, since 1990 the national Dutch church in Rome, although the church’s antecedents with Frisians go way back to the eighth century.

Not a well known Escher but interesting for its view of Rome. I’ve been trying to work out where he was. It doesn’t seem high enough to be at the top of Gianicolo … maybe the Botanical Gardens or Villa Corsini.
